Show G Sunday, January 8, 1950 SUNDAY HERALD c A i2Jgj v v uu.uy The Sports Beat By RAY SCHWARTZ Herald Sports Editor . Despite the fact Brigham Young university's basketball team was able to win only one tilt of its four-game mid-western mid-western tour,, Coach Stan Watts said Saturday that he was confident the Cougars would still be tough in conference con-ference play. Coach Watts and his . players arrived in Provo at 2:30 a.m.1 Saturday, after a long and tiring train ride from the middle west. They were five hours and 20 minutes behind schedule on their arrival, after a long delay in Nebraska, resulting from the derailment of a freight train. . "It looka a if the Skyline Six conference is going to be a mighty rough league to play in this season," Stan said. "But I still think the rest of the teams are going to have to play ball to beat us. . Doesn't Feel Bad 4No, I don't feel too bad about losing three out of the four games on our tour. Under the circumstances, 1 don't think we fared too badly. We've played 12 games in a row on the road and all that traveling doesn't help a team. Besides' that, we haven't had much time to practice lately." Stan said he felt that in Beloit, Toledo. Bowling Green and Loyola the Cougars had met four of the top teams in the nation. "But," he added, "I think we should have won two . more games than we did." He pointed out that at Beloit, the Cougars should have scored five more baskets than they did. He said three times Cougar players were; fouled while driving for under-the-basket shots and three times the baskets were nullified and the fouled player, awarded, one free throw. , , i T.. Traveling Hurts, Too . "We also lost a couple of baskets when .we were called for traveling," he pointed out. "But Beloit still has a darn good team; .They, have a fine record and have lost only one game at home in the last three years." Stan said he felt the Cougars should have beaten : Bowling Green,; but it was just a case of too much Chuck Share, the Falcons' 6-11 center, who scored 32 Erints against the Cougars as Bowling Green defeated YU, 75-50. : 'V "We were only one point behind at half time' the Cougar mentor said, "But Share, went to work on us in the second half . 'Then when Hutchins. and Beern both fouled out, we were in a heckuva mess. Toledo the Best ' 'However, I'm sure if we were to play them again we could beat them, because we'd know better how to handle Share." Watts said he thought Toledo was the , best 4team they faced on the tour.. ' , " 4 "They have good size and a great band of shooters,"' he added. ' ' " ' The BYU coach said the Cougars' greatest weakness on the tour was the lack of a strong defense, but he -v aaid he felt the Cougars had learned a lot. " "You learn a lot of basketball playing those eastern teams," he said. "And we found out that we, still have a lot of work'to do." v ' ' He said most of the Cougars played well on occasions during the tour, but that Roland Minson, the Cats' "blonde bomber," was the most consistent, . ; v Three Good Nights ' ' "Minson had three food nights on the . trip," Stan explained.; ex-plained.; "He had a bad night at Toledo. Although he was getting a lot of good shots in that game, they just weren't dropping for him." ' j Watts said the extent of D, Ray Fullmer's shoulder injury won't be known until after a specialist checks it. Fullmer suffered a shoulder separation when he collided with Ed Dawson, the 6-5, -230-pound center for Loyola, in the Cougars', final game of the tour. VThey were gping after a loose ball when they collided," Stan explained. "It is a, rather rare type of separation, in that the clavicle is separated from scapula. I don't believe I've ever seen one quite like it before. We won't be able to tell too much about it until after the specialist has looked at it." j Watts said the injury didn't seem to cause Fullmer too much pain at first, butv he was in considerable K distress on the train Friday. "He seemed to have a hard time getting in a comfortable position Friday, Stan said. Gonzales Thinks He Will Win Share Of Games On Tour LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7 UJ Richard (Pancho) Gonzales predicted pre-dicted Saturday that he will solve professional tennis champion cham-pion Jack Kramer's game and win mere than half the matches this year In their international tour. ' Kramer holds a big edge in the jeries so far, with the 46th and '47th meetings between the pair scheduled next week in Pan. Pacific Pa-cific auditorium here. Gonzales recalled that he lost to amateur star Ted Schroeder sight times: in a row before he caught on to Schroeder's style and won three of their last four matches. . "That's what I plan to do with Kramer," he said. "I'm going to forget those 1949 defeats and pile up an edge in 1950." EXPERT S K A J, Sharpening t AT nniEO' In Provo CW i . I l.inntii 1 Tidwell Leads Southerners To 22-13 Win Jacksonville: Fia Jan. 7 (U.PJ Travis Tidwell of Auburn outshone Doak Walker of Southern South-ern Methodist in a dazzling duel Saturday as an authentic southern squad flattened a "north" team with a Texas twang 22 to 13 in the first senior bowl football game. A crowd of only 20,000 . turned out . to see perhaps the most glittering glit-tering collection of all-stars ever gathered in one stadium in the unique affair which gave departing depart-ing collegians their first taste of pro gold. The players split the net gate receipts. Collect $600 Each It was estimated that the winning win-ning southern squad, dividing 60 per cent of the net, got around $600 for each player and coach, with the north personnel getting $450 each for their 40 per . cent pool. And it was Tidwell, who toiled for four heartbreaking seasons with a dismal Auburn team, who crowded more famous figures off of the glory list Just as he did last week in the Blue-Gray con test aj. Montgomery, Ala. Today, he brought his team from a two touchdown deficit to a decisive victory. The 175-pound T-formation quarterback passed for the south's first two touchdowns, set up the third with another toss and in between was keeping northern defenders dizzy- with hand-offs to an adept crew of halfbacks and with his own twisting runs. One of His Greatest Walker, , every inch the ail- American, played one of his greatest games. And only slightly behind Tidwell in the billing for the south was splendid , little Charley Justice of North Caro lina, playing what he insisted was his final game. Charley plans a medical Instead of pro football career. ;.. ' " Two canny pro coaches the Detroit Lions1 Bo McMillan and Steven Owens of the New York Giants-matched wits in the sen ior classic. And as he ; has - in many a big pro game, Owen took an under-rated line and made it click with a collection of talented backs. ' , v The Texas tornado, Walker, swept his team into, a commanding command-ing lead in the first two periods before the southerners representing repre-senting stars of the southern and southeastern conferences were organized. i Pitches for Score r. ; But Tidwell- had .pitched for one touchdown before the Intermission Inter-mission and the second half was all-south ; A punt blocked by Jim Duncan of Wake Forest gave v the south two points and all the insurance it needed in the last five minutes. A mighty free-wheeling .punt return of 67 yards by Walker put the north in position for its first score in the opening period. Doak reversed his field twice in the jaunt Then little Eddie Lebaron of College of the Pacific passed to Lynn Chatlnols of Michigan State to th South's 12-yard line and fter Walker crashed to the four, Chadnois scored. Walker kicked the point. , At the start of the second period Lebajron got off a 46-yard beauty to Oklahoma's Jim Owen on tne goal line but this time Doak's extra point try was blocked ana the North led 13 to o. Sparks South Eleven Justice, 165-pound North Caro lina star, sparked the south on a comeback by running out the kickoff 33 yards and Tidwell unwound un-wound a mighty 52-yard pass which Herb Rich of Vanderbilt took for a touchdown. Dick Sheffield Shef-field of Tulane kicked the point and Dixie was back in the ball game. Tidwell passed to Ret!

Voodruff Becomes New Florida U Football Coach By UNITED PRESS une major college nad a new head football coach Saturday, another had a vacancy just opened op-ened by a firing, and a third still was negotiating with a like candidate. t The University of Florida ap parently settled its pigskin staff tor tne next seven years when it signed young but highly success ful Bob Woodruff to a contract for that long period. Holy Cross bought up the rest of Bill Osmanski' Os-manski' contract, and Navy still was dickering with Eddie Era elatz.. Former Baylor Coach Woodruff, 34 years old, was head coach at - the University of sayior for Che last three years. At Florida he succeeds Roy (Bear) Wolf, who "resigned after a losing 1949 season to become assistant coach at Tulane. . Woodruff, a Savannah. Ga- na tive was a member of Tennessee's Orange Bowl champions of 1938, and as assistant coach was with outstanding teams at Tennessee Army,, and Georgia Tech. His 1948 Baylor team beat Wake For est, 20 to 7, in the Dixie Bowl and his 1949 team won eight, lost two, : , Three Years to Run Osmanski's contract at Holy Cross still had three years to run, and it was rumored that he settled set-tled for approximately $20,000. Under fire throughout the 1949 season' in which the , Crusaders won only one game and lost nine including a 76-0 loss, to Boston college, Osmanski decided to drop football for his career as a dentist den-tist in Chicago. Osmanski, the greatest fullback in Holy Cross history, was a star professional player with the Chicago Chi-cago Bears before returning to his alma mater as coach two years ago. Erdelatz, ' acknowledged ' the leading candidate for the Navy vacancy, flew i back to the west coast last night with no decision announced after three days of conferences with academy officials. offi-cials. of Wake Forest on the IS, then after being thrown on one attempt, at-tempt, shot a side-winder pass to O'Quinn which the latter took on the 10 and carried over. Justice started the south off on its final score with a 22-yard punt return to the North '40. Tid well promptly took aim again and landed one in Rich s arms on the two. Pride scored the touchdown touch-down and although Sheffield missed the point, leaving the north still a chance to tie, Duncan's Dun-can's block of Lebaron's punt settled the battle.

The Utags were as hot Saturday as they were cold Friday night, hitting from all corners of the D. U. arena hardwood. Denver won the first game of the series Friday Fri-day night, 56 to 51. Burt Cook and Ken Berrett led the Logan, Utah, five in the seesaw see-saw game which was very close in the first 15 minutes. Utah State ran the score to 26-18 four minutes before intermission the biggest difference of the first half, before Denver came back with a hot" streak to leave the floor, trailing by only three points, 30 to 27. It was the opening minutes of the second half that spelled Denver's Den-ver's defeat. The Pioneers came out as if they meant to run the Aggies into the floor, but they missed four set-ups and lost heart just long enough for the Aggies to pile up a 41-30 lead after eight minutes1 had gone by. The sophomores of Denver were never in serious contention after that. Friday's Game A pair of fill-in centers, John Griffin and Paul Hickey, gave Denver its victory over Utah State Friday. Both Griffin and Hickey had a crack at the pivot post left vacant by Dale Toft, regular Denver center, who was injured in the first league encounter of the year Monday night against Wyoming. Hickey got the starting assignment assign-ment at center and 'came through with two sensational under-the basket shots and added a two-hand two-hand jump shot in the game's opening minutes. Griffin later replaced Hickey, who moved to a forward post, and his play was the outstanding point of the game as he controlled both boards and hit three straight from the field as the half ended. Gains Lead Utah State led Denver 5-0 after four minutes of play. The Utags neid tnat lead until more than 14 minutes of the first half were gone. Hickey got Denver ahead 17-16 with a one-hand shot that clipped clip-ped the strings from 25 feet out . Griffin then took the game in his hands, hitting a lay-up shot, f right hook and a tip-in to give the Pioneers a 27-16 lead at Intermission. In-termission. Nip-And-Tuck The game remained nip-and-truck in the second half, with Denver holding the lead with 15 minutes to go until the end. Utah State tied the count at 37-37 and went ahead 44-43, but Denver Den-ver came back on a long two-hand two-hand set by Sid Ryen from 30 feet and Denver had its second straight conference win. Ryen and Hickey divided high point honors with 15 apiece. Ken Berrett and , La Dell Anderson were the top men for Utah State. Berrett, who couldn't find the range in the first half, bit five fielders in the second 20 minutes. Anderson was high for Utah State with 11 tallies and a line floor game to his credit. , Joxgenson also got 10 for the Utags. rZX" ''OLD MAN WINTER" has just arrived!
